What's With the "Search" Feature

[glens]

Re: What\'s With the \"Search\" Feature

Now that I can do! It's annoying, to be sure, but not more annoying to me than browsing the site that way in the first place.

I go to http://www.treebuzz.com/forum/ubbthreads.php and for each forum I follow (not all of them) which has new posts, I middle-click the forum link, which opens that forum listing in a new tab. Then I go to the far right tab and for each new post/thread, I middle click except for the last, which gets the left button on it.

Scroll-wheel up one notch with the mouse on the tab bar to get to the previous forum list, lather, rinse, repeat.

Then I go through the tabs one at a time, deleting them if I don't want to reply or do anything further with them.

Being on a modem, I can thereby get all the new posts I want to see coming in in the background while I'm reading the earlier ones.

That "show me all the new posts from the X hours" search interface is much less usable/informative, IMO.

You may have just hit on part of the disparity in the problem. I am on a fast DSL connection. I'm guessing that the time used up by the modem connection creates a lag time that generally exceeds the parameters in the dosearch.php function.

Just guessing here, but I'll bet the difference in modem and DSL are a factor for our different experiences.

Joe logger,

I get the same results that you're getting with the search. I have windows and DSL. It's a pain but not that much a deal to me.

Anyone had a chance to see if this can be fixed/changed?
